It’s amazing how kids can fall asleep anywhere. I must admit, I’m a bit jealous of how much Z time they get. In the car, on an airplane, waiting at the doctor’s….my kids 0-can nap like no other. However, they often get aches and pains from poor positioning when we are out and about, or don’t slumber as long as they should on a plane ride due to a bad angle. So, we’ve researched some of the best pillows out there to help our little guys get uninterrupted rest. We can’t just take a normal bed pillow with us wherever we go, of course, so finding something compact that supports the head and neck properly is the goal. Fortunately for you, we’ve tested out and researched the most popular travel pillows for children on the market. Below are the top 7 choices, and why they might be great for your family. For as much sleep as those kiddos get when you’re en route somewhere, they can be getting even better sleep with the right pillow by their sides.
Pillows can be made of all sorts of materials: buckwheat, cotton, microfiber, goose down, etc. Allergies aside, each child can have a different preference. Buckwheat does have more airflow than other pillows, allowing children to stay cooler. Microfiber can mold more to the shape of his/her head. And cotton is super easy to wash. Ultimately, it’s nice to stick with a similar material to what they are used to at home. That way the act of falling asleep is more routine.
